Our Spring 2013 BAC JAPAN students in their second study travel have visited the built work of RCR Arquitectes in Olot – Palamos, a city in Catalunya outside of the Barcelona area.
Some of the projects visited were the BELL LLOC WINERY, LES COLS RESTAURANT AND PAVILION, BATH PAVILION, RCR Workshop, TUSSOLS-BASIN TRACK AND FIELD STADIUM and PEDRA TOSCA PARK.
